Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked ham, diced
- 3 cups Great Northern beans, canned (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 1 cup Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- teaspoon Salt (optional, to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare all your ingredients by peeling, dicing, and mincing the vegetables as specified in the ingredient list.
Lay the diced ham, Great Northern beans, carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic into the bottom of your crock pot or slow cooker.
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the ingredients, ensuring everything is evenly covered with liquid.
Add the dried thyme, bay leaf, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper into the pot. Stir gently to incorporate the spices.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set to cook on low heat for 6–8 hours, or on high heat for 3–4 hours. Stir occasionally if possible.
Check the seasoning in the last 30 minutes of cooking and add salt if needed. Depending on the saltiness of the ham and broth, this may not be necessary.
Once the cook time is complete, remove the bay leaf and discard it. Give the mixture a final stir to combine flavors.
Ladle the ham and bean mixture into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
